Walker Bay and the Hemel-en-Aarde valley nearby the whale-watching town of Hermanus, is a relatively recent addition to South Africa’s exciting wine topography, with great potential for cooler climate styles not commonly found elsewhere in the country.
A complex wine with aroma of berries, nuts, tobacco, cedar, and cloves. Velvet-smooth, a juicy berry flavour in the finish, and hints of graphite and oak. Grapes were fermented with the skins, and underwent malolactic fermentation during 18 month maturation in 60% new, 40% 2nd or 3rd use barrels, lightly filtered before bottling.
